REASONS FOR FOUNDATION ISSUES IN GRAYSON COUNTY

• Expansive Clay Soil: The North Texas area is known for its expansive clay soil (Blackland Prairie). This type of soil significantly changes volume with moisture content. During wet periods, it swells, and during dry periods, it shrinks. This constant movement puts a lot of stress on foundations, leading to cracks, shifting, and other problems.

• Drainage Issues: Poor drainage around your home's foundation can exacerbate soil movement. When water pools near the foundation, the soil becomes oversaturated and expands. Conversely, if water drains away too quickly, the soil can dry out and contract rapidly. Issues like improper grading, clogged gutters, and short downspouts contribute to this.

• Plumbing Leaks: Leaks in underground plumbing can saturate the soil beneath the foundation, causing it to shift and potentially leading to foundation damage.

• Tree Roots: Large tree roots growing near your foundation can extract moisture from the soil, causing it to shrink. They can also physically push against the foundation as they grow.

• Poor Soil Compaction: If the soil wasn't properly compacted during the construction of your home, the foundation can settle unevenly over time.

• Poor Construction Practices: Inadequate site preparation or the use of subpar materials during construction can also compromise the foundation's integrity.

FOUNDATION REPAIR METHODS USED IN GRAYSON COUNTY

The best repair method will depend on the specific issues affecting your foundation. Some common repair techniques include:

• Pressed Concrete Piers: Concrete cylinders are hydraulically pushed into the ground to stabilize the foundation. In the Dallas and Fort Worth area Concrete Pressed Piers are one of the most affordable and reliable methods used to stabilize foundation movement.

• Steel Piers: Similar to concrete piers but made of steel are considered more durable and can be driven to greater depths. Steel Piers in Dallas and Fort Worth are needed if depths to bedrock exceed 20 feet.

• Hybrid Piers: Our Hybrid Piers combine 3 sections of interlocking steel pipe with a steel penetrator tip which locks into the bedrock. The steel pier sections are connected with a steel transition plate to (holed) concrete piers which are driven downward with a steel rod inserted in the center of the piers. This steel rod helps to align and holds the pressed concrete piers together and protects against shearing. This hybrid pier can be driven deeper like steel piers but with the durability of concrete piers and delivered at a cost effective price. 

• Drilled - Poured Concrete Piers:  Drilled piers are used when structures are not heavy enough to use a pressed pier. Some foundations with wood facades require drilled piers.

• Helical Piers: Helical piers with screw-like anchors are drilled deep into stable soil to provide support.

• Pier and Beam Repair: For Pier and Beam Foundations, repairs might involve replacing damaged wood, adding or adjusting shims, or installing additional piers for support.

• Drainage Correction: Installing French Drains, surface drains, and improving grading to direct water away from the foundation.

• Root Barriers: Installing Root Barriers to prevent tree roots from encroaching on the foundation.

• Slab-jacking (Mud-jacking): This involves pumping a grout mixture under the concrete slab to lift and level it.
